I plumped for a Panasonic NV-GS17 just before my pre-season snow boarding trip. Bought a cheap one as:
a) it was my first DV camera, so I might not use it that much
b) in case I droped it down the mountain
So far I've been very impressed with the footage from the camera. It handled the white balance well, coped with the cold extremely well, the stability stuff help a lot, and the LCD window didn't solarize at all. Colours are pretty good, and it handled low light .ok.
Well chuffed, so after a few more goes I might be tempted to move up to the fancier stuff that everyone else has

After doing quite a bit of research on the Net, I eventually bought a Canon Elura 80. My primary reason for buying a camcorder was for transferring tapes and films to be edited on my computer; therefore I chose a camera that was a) Mac-friendly and b) relatively inexpensive. I could have bought a cheap piece of junk or an expensive all-the-bells-&-whistles model, but instead opted for the middle of the road.
This camera's pass-through function certainly works well, and after a while I eventually used the camera to create home movies. No complaints there, either.
